Speaking to BBC Radio, Rowetta said "We decided it would only be special and work if it was the total, original line-up".
"We're all really excited. They are my family, these boys; I've really missed them... and I'm sure they've missed each other."
"It was brilliant, it was really nerve-racking but its going to be fabulous. We're all really excited.
"We have reformed before, but it wasn't the real Mondays. It wasn't the original band. We've not been on stage for 20 years... it's just going to be amazing", she added.
